Best Travel Prams - Lightweight Strollers That Are Quick to Fold and Easy to Operate
Lightweight strollers must be quick to fold and easy to use. The best travel strollers come with a compact fold that easily fits into overhead bins or smaller car booties, and can accommodate an infant car seat.
The BabyZen Yoyo2 has become the baby stroller of many parents who are who are on the move, thanks to its lightweight design that is gate-check friendly and its compact folding. It has a fantastic turning radius, and a flat recline.
UPPAbaby G-Luxe
With a track record of innovatively designed products that are both attractive and feature-packed, UPPAbaby G-Luxe is a fantastic choice for parents who wish to travel. The stroller is extremely lightweight and folds down to an extremely compact size, making it easy to transport. The stroller also features a front wheel lock that keeps it stable while in use and a canopy that is fixed to offer adequate protection from the sun. It is easy to maneuver and has an ideal storage basket that holds a fair amount of gear.
In contrast to the more expensive models of the UPPAbaby family the G-Luxe is quite affordable and comes with a variety of extras, including a parent cup holder and rain cover. It also has a convenient one step brake system and tall handlebars that make it easier to push parents of all heights, and a hand-level folding mechanism that makes it easy to store.
The UPPAbaby G-Luxe features a new, robust frame design, which is reminiscent of VISTA and CRUZ strollers, as well as a fresh front-end design with a single-wheeled that enhances maneuverability and a larger, more expansive canopy with an open SPF 50+ sunshade. It also has a convenient storage basket and an easy-to-access back-of-seat storage compartment.
While the G-Luxe scored high in our noise tests, it was not top of the class in terms of performance and durability. It also had the least recline positions among our test models and its rear-facing seats aren't suitable for children under two years.
Although the UPPAbaby G-Luxe didn't take home our top umbrella stroller award, it was still a worthy contender and comes with many of the features that make our winners so loved by families. It weighs 16 pounds and has a tiny footprint when folded, but it is not as compact. Summer Infant 3D Lite weighs 2 lbs less than G Luxe and folds down to the size of a smaller. It is an excellent choice for parents seeking a light travel stroller.
BabyZen Yoyo2
The BabyZen Yoyo2 pram delivers on its promises. It is simple to use, lightweight, and stylish. It's designed to fit into city life and if you want to travel with it, it's ideal for that as well. It's more expensive than some of the other options on this list but it's among the few that have a rain cover included.
Five Frenchmen created BabyZen with the intention of developing a stroller that was light that could be used in urban areas. The YOYO2 version is the latest. The YOYO2 is a unique folding and unfolding device that can be done with just one hand. It's also extremely compact and light and can be carried on the shoulder. It's a great choice for infants and comes with a bassinet. Once your baby is old enough to go, it can be transformed into an infant seat. You can add a car-seat to create a complete travel system.
In terms of features, the YOYO2 has a great suspension that can handle tough terrain well and it's extremely easy to move around. It comes with a large storage basket as well as a large zip pocket behind the seat that's handy for your wallet, phone or snacks. It can be linked to other YOYOs to accommodate larger families. It's compatible with all Babyzen products, including a footmuff or a large shopping basket.
The only drawback to the YOYO2 is that it's not the best choice for long walks in the park or on cobblestones. It's a smooth ride, but it might not be as sturdy as a model designed with more rugged terrain in mind. However, if you only plan on using it for short city walks or to run errands then it should serve you perfectly well. The YOYO2 is simple to get in and out from the boot of my Honda Civic and it will easily fit into the footwell too. It's also smaller than most people's hand luggage, making it ideal to fly with a baby.
Summer Infant 3D Lite
The Summer Infant 3D Lite stroller is a light, practical stroller with lots of features. It folds into a compact package making it easy to transport and store. It is the lightest stroller that we tested and one of the best budget alternatives available. It's not ideal for daily use since it does not have a bassinet, or a car seat but it is great for travel.
It can be used to hold toddlers easily. The large seat can be placed almost flat to allow for diaper changes or naps. The 5-point harness can be adjusted to three different height positions. There is a large storage basket and cup holder for parents. There is a peekaboo window on the canopy that is covered by a fabric flap and an extra zippered pocket for smaller items.
This stroller, just like the UPPAbaby G-Luxe steers well on smooth surfaces, but it gets stuck in cracks when we test it on rough terrain. The wheels are made of plastic and vibrate more than average for our test group. It also has a smaller carry strap than the majority of our strollers tested, which means it is harder to carry if you're carrying a heavy bag or a sleeping baby.
The 3Dlite unfolds and folds down in only six seconds. The process involves just a few steps to lift the lever at the back center of the stroller to open the latch, push down the latch on the right side, then push the handles down. Although these aren't the fastest or slowest times for folding and unfolding a stroller they are nevertheless quite fast. It also has relatively higher-end handle bars, which could be a problem for smaller people.
The Summer Infant 3D Lite has one major disadvantage: it doesn't have a sunshade. It has a pretty large canopy but it doesn't provide any protection for your child if you are walking with them facing the sun. It comes with a retractable visor that provides some protection when fully opened but doesn't completely cover the head of the child.
Zoe Traveler
If you're looking for a light and compact stroller, consider the Zoe Traveler. The stroller is not only lightweight, but also can fold down to the size and shape of a carry-on suitcase! That's a huge plus in our book. It also comes with a sun canopy and a parent console, as well as a variety of extras including an oversized backpack for storage or travel and cross-body or single shoulder straps, a children's snack tray and an umbrella for the weather.
Zoe started as a family-owned company and they pride themselves on making products that give parents with the most value as their children grow. This approach shows in their range of strollers, which variety of models from a basic umbrella model to an expandable twin double with reclined seats. Their travel strollers are also one of the best options available, and they offer the most bang for your buck.
We tried the Zoe Traveler in order to compare it with the competition in terms of function and ease of use. We looked at a variety of factors that included the fold and unfold feature, storage, maneuverability and safety. We discovered that this stroller is easy to fold and unfold, though it requires a bit of effort with one hand. It's not as smooth as some of its rivals. It's not the ideal option for parents with taller heights because the handlebars only extend approximately 40 inches, which could be uncomfortable for long rides.
It is crucial to have enough storage space in your stroller, particularly when you are traveling. It's a significant portion of our overall ease of use score. The Zoe Traveler scored a solid 7 out of 10 in this category. A small bin is located in the back seat. It could fit a diaper bag or a coat or jacket. It's unlikely to accommodate an entire day's worth of items.
pram for newborn Push Chairs And Prams in the Zoe Traveler are comfortable but not the most spacious in our test group. The seats have a decent amount of padding and two recline settings. One hand is required to adjust the recline, but two hands are needed to get it back straight.
